Creativity connects us. But without the right space and support, artistic expression and cultural experiences can be hard to find.

As Austin continues to grow, many families and creatives are seeking a slower pace, a sense of community, and access to arts and culture without the chaos of the big city. They settle in Hays County and the Texas Hill Country, bringing with them a demand for high-quality art experiences, creative spaces, and opportunities to connect.

At the same time, the area is filled with talented local artists who need affordable studio space, resources, and opportunities to share their work and thrive professionally. Without a hub for the arts, both the community and its artists were missing out on meaningful creative experiences.

A Place to Belong and Create

Seeing this need, Sinéad Whiteside and Susan Guerra envisioned a place where art and community could flourish together. After gathering input, building partnerships, and drinking a lot of coffee, they founded Inspired Minds Art Center, a creative hub where: 

• People of all ages and abilities can take multi-media art classes taught by local artists.

• Live performances, exhibitions, and events bring the community together.

• Artists find resources, workspace, and business support to make a living doing what they love.

The Perfect Home for Creativity

Nestled in the heart of Buda, a town with a rich history of supporting small businesses and local artists, Inspired Minds Art Center is part of a thriving creative movement. Today, we serve Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Wimberley, New Braunfels, South Austin, and beyond, offering a welcoming space where creativity, culture, and community come together in Hays County, Texas.

Whether you are looking for art classes, live theatre, a creative night out, or a place to connect with fellow artists, you belong here.
